Installation
  Start Install.exe from Programmanager or Dateimanager. Install create
  the executable files. Select a other directory if necessary.

  You need Windows 3.1, i386 or better CPU and a graphicmode with 256 or more
  Colors (256, 32K, 64K and TRUE Color are supported).

Movies
  A movie could be a Mpegfile(.mpg), a Quicktime Mpeg file (.mov) or
  sequence of single picture with the same size. Mixture of Jpeg, Gif, Bmp
  and 24Bit Targe fileformat is posible. A sequence consist of a file which
  held all the names of the pictures. Picturenames are absolute or relative to
  this file.

Display
  Movies can be displayed, select the file/open - menu and select a file from
  the filedialog.

Write
  If a movie is displayed on the screen you can select the file/write - menu.
  A new dialog appear, insert the name of the new file, select a fileformat and
  if this is the Mpegformat, you can choose the mpegoptions.

Mpegoptions
  Intra, selfcontaining picture
  predictive, needs a intra or other predictive as referenze
  bidirectional, needs one or two referenze pictures
  In this two editfields you can choose the relative number of
  these three pictureformats. Predictive and bidirctional picture has higher
  compressionrates than intra pictures.

  Quantizationtables, use default. You can play a bit, if you know what are you
  doing.

  Quality, small values give good picture quality but moderate comprssion rates,
	   high values the other way.
	   Usual values are between 6 and 20, especially between 8 and 16.

  Vector Search, only for nonintra pictures.
  Vector range, range in which the program search a Vector, very time expensive
  so dont use big if it is not necessary.

  Search Strategy, full search check every posible vector, very slow but give
  better compression rates (10-20%).
  log. search check only some and is much faster.
